Piners & Miners
This day tour will tell you everything you need to know about the history of the West Coast -- and bring alive some of the fascinating characters who shaped it. Start off in a unique four-wheel-drive vehicle that runs on the old rail tracks while you listen to the story of the miners who sought riches here (and who also poisoned the King and Queen Rivers, today considered "dead" rivers). Then you'll take a 2-hour walk through lush rainforest to a rendezvous with a gourmet barbecue lunch whipped up by a waiting chef in the shadow of the ghost town of East Pillinger. From there, it's a boat ride back to Strahan. A big day out, but highly recommended.
